Dwarf Fortress webcomics

Dwarf Fortress, due to a combination of its insane level of complexity and minimal artistic depiction, attracted the attention of various webcomic writers and artists - detail minded folk, often attracted to games, and with very active imaginations. These webcomic 'strippers have immortalized Dwarf Fortress, sometimes as individual episodes in their ongoing webstrips, sometimes as brand new webcomics devoted entirely to Dwarf Fortress.

Adventures of Likot Udendeb is an illustrated, interactive saga originating from Russian Dwarf Fortress-centered imageboard DFach. The story is written and illustrated by several anonymous contributors based on suggestions of the imageboard's users. Starting as a story of one completely ordinary dwarf and his cruel fate of being the hero, it eventually evolved into an epic saga with multiple arcs, various characters and global setting that's loosely based on Dwarf Fortress game mechanics rich with DF-related memes and influence of general Russian imageboard culture. Permanently in indefinite state of being written/frozen and is being translated (badly) from Russian with a certain lag. Admired for its flexible storyline and several animated episodes.
